Globalization has offered us low-cost products and has therefore also accustomed us to sheets, pillowcases and quilts within the reach of every pocket, but synthetic and/or of lower quality in fibers and materials as well as in the use of dyes and chemical products which are no longer allowed in Europe.

1. NATURAL FIBERS vs SYNTHETIC FIBERS

Synthetics  they have many negative aspects, they are not breathable and make you sweat more while maintaining humidity on the body,  when washed they become more stringy and produce more pellets, rest is worse and are more polluting for the environment. (the only advantage is the ease of ironing but they are not healthy)

Natural fibres  they come from cotton, linen, in short natural products, they are more breathable, if well cared for they maintain softness and freshness and improve the quality of sleep.
